Chapter XV
"So over violent, or over civil!" "A man so various." "Dull looking day," says Dicky Browne, looking up from his broiled kidney to glare indignantly through the window at the gray sky. "It can't be always May," says Beauclerk cheerfully, whose point it is to take ever a lenient view of things. Even to heaven itself he is kind, and holds out a helping hand.
